    1. INTENDED USE Platform scales are designed for fast and precise measurements of weighed loads masses and direct commercial settlements. Tarring in full weighing range enables to determine net mass of weighed loads. Additional display is additional equipment of scale. It is to control mass of weighed load by another person.
  • Page 6: Power Supply Of Weighing Indicators In Plastic Casings

    The device connected to mains inteligently monitors the battery state and charges it if possible. After sudden lack of power supply from the mains the device automatically switches to accumulator without breaking operation. In case of an elongated storage period in low temperatures, it is not allowed the full discharge of the accompanied batteries.
